34Now Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.H1783H1323H3812H3205H3290H3318H7200H1323H776 2And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her and lay with her, and violated her.H7927H1121H2544H2340H5387H776H7200H3947H7901H6031 3His soul was strongly attracted to Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young woman and spoke kindly to the young woman.H5315H1692H1783H1323H3290H157H5291H1696H3820H5291 4So Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, "Get me this young woman as a wife."H7927H559H1H2544H559H3947H3207H802 5And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter. Now his sons were with his livestock in the field; so Jacob held his peace until they came.H3290H8085H2930H1783H1323H1121H4735H7704H3290H2790H935 6Then Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to speak with him.H2544H1H7927H3318H3290H1696H854 7And the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it; and the men were grieved and very angry, because he had done a disgraceful thing in Israel by lying with Jacob's daughter, a thing which ought not to be done.H1121H3290H935H7704H8085H582H6087H3966H2734H6213H5039H3478H7901H3290H1323H6213 8But Hamor spoke with them, saying, "The soul of my son Shechem longs for your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife.H2544H1696H559H5315H1121H7927H2836H1323H5414H802 9"And make marriages with us; give your daughters to us, and take our daughters to yourselves.H2859H5414H1323H3947H1323 10"So you shall dwell with us, and the land shall be before you. Dwell and trade in it, and acquire possessions for yourselves in it."H3427H776H1961H6440H3427H5503H270 11Then Shechem said to her father and her brothers, "Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you say to me I will give.H7927H559H1H251H4672H2580H5869H559H5414 12"Ask me ever so much dowry and gift, and I will give according to what you say to me; but give me the young woman as a wife."H7235H3966H4119H4976H5414H559H5414H5291H802 13But the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father, and spoke deceitfully, because he had defiled Dinah their sister.H1121H3290H6030H7927H2544H1H4820H1696H2930H1783H269 14And they said to them, "We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised, for that would be a reproach to us.H559H3808H3201H6213H1697H5414H269H376H6190H2781 15"But on this condition we will consent to you: If you will become as we are, if every male of you is circumcised,H2063H225H2145H4135 16"then we will give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters to us; and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.H5414H1323H3947H1323H3427H259H5971 17"But if you will not heed us and be circumcised, then we will take our daughter and be gone."H8085H4135H3947H1323H1980 18And their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor's son.H1697H3190H5869H2544H7927H2544H1121 19So the young man did not delay to do the thing, because he delighted in Jacob's daughter. He was more honorable than all the household of his father.H5288H309H6213H1697H2654H3290H1323H3513H1004H1 20And Hamor and Shechem his son came to the gate of their city, and spoke with the men of their city, saying:H2544H7927H1121H935H8179H5892H1696H582H5892H559 21"These men are at peace with us. Therefore let them dwell in the land and trade in it. For indeed the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters to us as wives, and let us give them our daughters.H582H8003H854H3427H776H5503H776H7342H3027H6440H3947H1323H802H5414H1323 22"Only on this condition will the men consent to dwell with us, to be one people: if every male among us is circumcised as they are circumcised.H2063H582H225H3427H259H5971H2145H4135H4135 23"Will not their livestock, their property, and every animal of theirs be ours? Only let us consent to them, and they will dwell with us."H4735H7075H929H225H3427 24And all who went out of the gate of his city heeded Hamor and Shechem his son; every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city.H2544H7927H1121H8085H3318H8179H5892H2145H4135H3318H8179H5892 25Now it came to pass on the third day, when they were in pain, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, each took his sword and came boldly upon the city and killed all the males.H7992H3117H3510H8147H1121H3290H8095H3878H1783H251H3947H376H2719H935H5892H983H2026H2145 26And they killed Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah from Shechem's house, and went out.H2026H2544H7927H1121H6310H2719H3947H1783H3947H7927H1004H3318 27The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and plundered the city, because their sister had been defiled.H1121H3290H935H2491H962H5892H2930H269 28They took their sheep, their oxen, and their donkeys, what was in the city and what was in the field,H3947H6629H1241H2543H5892H7704 29and all their wealth. All their little ones and their wives they took captive; and they plundered even all that was in the houses.H2428H2945H802H7617H962H1004 30Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, "You have troubled me by making me obnoxious among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites; and since I am few in number, they will gather themselves together against me and kill me. I shall be destroyed, my household and I."H3290H559H8095H3878H5916H887H3427H776H3669H6522H4962H4557H622H5221H8045H1004 31But they said, "Should he treat our sister like a harlot?"H559H6213H269H2181
